What if Science Fiction was right?

“Women in Science fiction: where are the role models?”

My talk was about highlighting with humour the lack of strong and credible female role models in science fiction (on screen) for my generation (Y).
I concluded with an optimistic note because nowadays we are seeing more and more strong and realistic female characters on screen.At least it’s not only about a helpless girl chased by a monster, waiting to be saved OR a “femme fatale”/tomboy shooting on sight in a mini-short (I do like Tomb raider).
Still, many recent and popular movies are not passing the Bechdel-Wallacetest.
